An AI companion for
Health wellbeing
Can cognitive digital technology help people manage their own health, stay continuously monitored, and remain connected to caregivers — wherever they live?
More people than ever live far from parents, grandparents, and relatives who have moved for work across cities and countries. At the same time, the population of older adults and people with chronic conditions — along with patients discharged from hospital — keeps growing, a trend sharpened by recent years of pandemic aftereffects and modern lifestyles.
This has driven strong interest in digital tools for health monitoring: wearables, health apps, telemedicine, telecare, and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). Yet most of these tools still fall short of holistic, intelligent analysis — automatically interpreting health status, speaking naturally with people, and staying affordable enough for widespread, everyday use.
How the Personal Virtual Health Assistant Works
Connect
Vital signs, activity, metabolism, home air quality, and safety indicators are continuously measured through wearables and connected sensors.
Model
A Personal Digital Twin runs as a Virtual Health Assistant on the PharosNavigator platform, built on an evolving human-health knowledge base.
Analyse
Health and wellbeing status is analysed in real time, with predictions of change calculated from accumulated biomarker history.
Engage
The assistant speaks with its host and caregivers in natural language, delivering reminders, recommendations, and evidence-based analytics.
A personal, intimate AI assistant for every individual.
One assistant, always available to its host person and their authorised caregivers — on mobile, at home, and outdoors.
Conversational AI
Communicates with its host and caregivers over mobile in natural language, with multimodal analytics when needed.
Daily Schedule Support
Helps set and keep planned routines — medications, procedures, appointments — without relying on memory.
Biomarker Monitoring
Continuously measures vital signs, activity, metabolism, BMI, and psychological and living-condition indicators.
Predictive Health Analytics
Analyses health and wellbeing status in real time and predicts change, with recommendations aimed at preserving homeostasis.
Caregiver Connectivity
Supports remote access to in-depth personal health analytics and assistance sessions with formal and informal caregivers at any time.
Affordable Self-Management
Enables psychosocial support and extends medical services to homes, clinics, and residential houses at accessible cost.

The Personal Digital Twin runs as a Virtual Health Assistant on the AI-, Big Data-, and IoT-driven PharosNavigator platform in the cloud. It draws on a core medical knowledge base, speaks like a human, and reminds, recommends, and asks about health and wellbeing status — backed by evidence, charts, and tables.
What sets it apart from a human companion is its ability to continuously collect and automatically analyse many diverse biomarkers alongside psychological, emotional, and living-environment data — then inform the host and authorised caregivers about actual or predicted critical situations, in the same conversational way a healthcare professional would.
From proof-of-concept to real ecosystem.
The proof-of-concept was tested in the lab and through Horizon 2020 project experiments — including SmartMozionAge, iTwinBuild, BRAINE, and WELLBASED — and continues to advance through new international projects raising its technology readiness level. The result is a meaningful step toward the Healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT) and a new generation of healthcare ecosystem services.
Our Horizon Europe EIC Accelerator proposal was awarded the Seal of Excellence as a COVID-19 Response by the European Commission in 2020, scored among roughly 4,000 applications in a highly competitive evaluation and recommended for investment funding.

Can latest intelligent digital technology help people in self-management of their health, its continuous monitoring, improving longevity and quality of life while being in connectivity with caregivers?
These questions take away the peace of mind of growing number of people on this planet who, by various reasons, must live alone or be away from their parents, grandparents, relatives working in different places, cities and countries.
There is increasing number of aging people and those with chronic diseases, as well as patients discharged from hospitals. As a result of the long-term impacts of various COVIDs and modern style of life and diets, the numbers grew dramatically. All these along with improved knowledge and drive of people to find the ways to be healthy, wealthy, and active during the whole life span cause interest in effective ways to manage and monitor own health and well-being, be in contact with their informal and official caregivers, and easy and effectively use the access to available medical services.
The demand led to significant surge in the population perception of digital solutions for health monitoring, health bracelets and apps, telemedicine, telecare, telehealth, Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), etc.
However, most of them still lack of capacity for:
• Holistic automatic intelligent analysis of may complex processes that are related to individual health management, lifestyle, activities, living environment,
• Intelligent automatic calculation and interpretation of the ongoing and predicted health status using the latest accumulated human health knowledgebase,
• Keeping people and patients, their relatives and caregivers updated regarding the best lifestyles and actions that preserve health and well-being in an intelligent way without overhead related to time spent for continuous monitoring and analysis,
• Providing intelligent positive psychological interactions with people in natural language conversations, supporting exchange of comments and multimodal message content,
• Having cost level affordable for large population groups to let enhanced sustainable ecosystem.
Intelligent Personal Virtual Health Assistant for health and wellbeing monitoring
Our company implements radically new concept: To provide each individual with a personal intimate AI-driven Digital Health Assistant that
- Communicates with its host person and his/her caregivers over mobiles in natural language using conversational AI and provides multimodal analytics when necessary;
- Helps to set and keep planned daily schedule (medications, procedures, visits, etc.)
- Continuously measures and calculates various biomarkers (vital signs, activities; metabolism, BMI, etc.), psychological/emotional metrics, home living conditions (air quality, safety) and indicators of wellbeing that represent human health in every possible detail at current level of medical and wellbeing knowledge;
- Analyses health & wellbeing status in real time and provides predictions of change;
- Interprets the results and provides the host person and his/her authorized associates with recommendations, reminders and prescriptive analytics regarding best possible actions aimed at keeping health and wellbeing homeostasis;
- Helps to set remote access to in depth evidence based personal health analytics;
- Supports health assistance sessions with formal and informal caregivers at any time;
- Enables psychosocial support, improves resilience, offers medical services extension to people homes, clinics, residential houses;
- Supports new methods of self-management of health under acceptable minimal costs.
In our implementation architecture such Personal Digital Twin application runs as a Personal Virtual health Assistant at AI-, Big Data- and IoT- driven platform PharosN in cloud and works as personal Virtual Nurse at home and outdoors. It uses basic medical knowledgebase, has embedded intelligence and ability to speak like a human, reminding, recommending in time and asking about health and well being status as well as provide evidence data, charts, tables and other analytics.
It, however, fundamentally differs from humans in its ability to continuously collect and automatically analyse many diverse biomarkers and other data about psychological, emotional, mental, pains of its host person, living conditions, air quality and activity. Having such knowledge, the Personal Virtual Assistant informs its host and authorized caregivers about the actual or predictable critical health and safety situations, and provides the relevant recommendations in the intelligent conversational interactions and analytics that are similar to interactions with a real human healthcare professional.
The proof-of-concept prototype of such solution was tested in the lab and Horizon 2020 project experiment SmartMozionAge, iTwinBuild, BRAINE, WELLBASED and is further introduced into new international projects to increase its technology readiness level (TRL)..
The solutions represent significant advancement towards Healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT) and creates new opportunities for effective services in new generation of healthcare ecosystems.
Our comprehensive project proposal for Horizon Europe EIC Accelerator grant received the Certificate “Seal of Excellence as COVID-19 Response” in 2020 by the European Commission scored as a high-quality project proposal in a highly competitive evaluation process of 4000 applications and is recommended for investment funding.
We invite the investors interested in financing new AI-driven digital health technologies to review this unique innovation investment potential aimed at implementation of commercial health ecosystem services for the population that run the swarms of personal virtual health assistants in cloud and edge computing.
